Yes, I like to find shows that have at least a few seasons too. I dumped cable 6 years ago and now I binge shows. I don't like waiting a week to see the next episode like we all used to do. Instead I wait until the season is over and watch that season until I'm finished. That works better because I usually only watch one episode a day. I'm slowly going through the last season of Blue Bloods now.
Well, I would rather watch 25 episodes with five clunkers than shows with six to eight episodes that leave you wanting more but you don't get a new season for years after the first one. I am thinking of "Reacher!" A great show that is supposed to be in the can already, but for some reason they are holding it back. Thank God for old shows. I have binged "Castle," "Bones," (which did have quite a few of your clunkers toward the end) "The Rookie," "The Orwell," "NCIS," and am watching "Law and Order" and "CSI" at the moment. In any case, something that isn't really pertinent to the subject, but I find most new shows are "soaps" with a continuing story, while I prefer each episode I watch to have a satisfying ending. So, twenty-five stories rather than one long one! No wonder there are some clunkers!
@IrisSenior: I am a multi-tasker! I love my books and read for hours each day, but then switch to TV or my computer!
@caroln: That's most likely your ISP, would you be able to switch to a more reliable one?
I can understand that. When nothing new interests me I go back and binge the X Files and other older shows, all episodes. It does fill the time nicely and I don't have to pay attention to them while doing other things. "Law and Order SVU" is always a reliable comfort show when I can't find anything new to watch !Well, I would rather watch 25 episodes with five clunkers than shows with six to eight episodes that leave you wanting more but you don't get a new season for years after the first one.

I feel that way, sometimes, Carol! I subscribe to about 6 different channels, including Prime (plus channels within Prime), Disney+ and Netflix and when I look at all the new shows, my mind goes: Naw, not interested! I don't like Drama, I don't like horror, I don't like "soaps," I am tired of sitcoms and their laugh tracks so, what's left? No wonder I spend so much time in this forum!A thousand channels, and still thereās nothing to watch!
I'm with you. I read every morning. It's much better for the heart, soul and brain than all those mostly worthless brain dead TV shows. Good for ya!
No problem with streaming Spanish telenovelas on Netflix or Hulu. Unlike the series mentioned in the above the Spanish telenovelas can offer 60 or more episodes & several continuous seasons. And sometimes when the dialog is to fast for me, yes they have pretty decent Spanish to English sub titles that makes following the plot pretty easy.
I go to Tubi quite often. Their commercials last thirty seconds, sometimes you might get two of them, but it's refreshing after Cable where you get twenty minutes of commercials per hour!
I use cable internet and Spectrum is the only game in town.
I have been doing that with new movies, read the reviews in IMDB first, that is. And not the ones by professionals, but the ones by the viewers! "Call the Midwife" where did you find that? Is it drama or comedy or a bit of both?
